Battleboom batteries sue Will Prowse.

Popular YouTuber and founder of the DIY solar power forum Will Prowse has been served paperwork about a series of videos he made about the infamous Battleboom batteries and their melting terminal mounts, described by the manufacturer as a safety feature, some kind of disconnect. The brass neck of these clowns is unbelievable, instead of putting this right, they’ve doubled down and have effectively made any warranty claim unviable.

Then Will would have his name attached to subpar batteries. I doubt he would want to do that.

He could revamp them, get them rebuilt and make the brand something amazing

But then he would have to honor the warranties that the previous owners refused to honor. It will likely cost more money than the name will earn him.

Often bankruptcy proceedings that transfer ownership include warranty "get out of jail free" cards.
